# UK to lose 250kt of capacity with closure of Cargill OSR plant - Farmers Weekly

> Cargill announced the closure of its Hull rapeseed crushing plant in December 2022, removing 200,000 to 250,000 tonnes of UK crush capacity and affecting 36 jobs. The UK's remaining crush plants are at Liverpool, Erith and Warwickshire. The UK expects about 1.3 million tonnes of rapeseed this year and will need to import roughly 700,000 tonnes.
